          Interference No. 104,372                                                    
          Winker v. Abileah                                                           

               3    Jameson Lee, Administrative Patent Judge (APJ).                   
               J.   Discussion--fourth conference call                                
               The parties confirmed to the APJ that in their view                    
          Winker’s reissue application does not contain any claim that                
          corresponds to the modified count, and that judgment should                 
          issue in favor of Abileah as to the subject matter of the                   
          modified count.                                                             
               K.   The parties’ joint position that all of Winker’s                  
          reissue claims do not correspond to the modified count appears              
          facially plausible on this record, in the absence of any                    
          evidence to which we have been directed.  In this                           
          circumstance, entry of adverse judgment with respect to                     
          Winker’s involved patent is authorized under 37 CFR §                       
          1.662(b).  We regard the filing of the Winker reissue                       
          application as constituting a request for entry of adverse                  
          judgment as to the subject matter of the modified count.  The               
          request is granted.                                                         
               L    Order                                                             
               Upon consideration of the record, it is                                
                    ORDERED that junior party Winker is not entitled to               
          its patent claims 1-7, which correspond to the count.                       

                                       - 10 -
